418 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 



teaching purposes has considerably increased during the last two or 

 three years; and although the collection, identification, and preservation 

 of the specimens absorb a great deal of time and attention, which is 

 by no means adequately compensated for by the amount of money 

 received from the sale of the specimens, the work in itself appears to 

 be of sufficient importance to justify the Association in continuing it, 

 more particularly as it makes regular and constant collecting necessary 

 and is some assistance to the general finances.
